When will I be able to enter my 1099R

[SweetieJean]

You can do so now. Go to Federal > Wages and Income > Retirement.

1) Desktop software?  You maybe need to run a software update.

2)  Is the date there for trying to "import" it from some other source?   That would be under the other source's control....IF you have the paper forms, or  PDF forms already, just skip the import...hit the "I'll type it in myself", and enter the 1099-R  data from your paper forms.

I still can't.

I have the paper form and when I try to "type in myself", I still get the message that the IRS is not finished with this area but it should be ready by 1/21/2020

Then you need to update the software  (Every week).

IF you have and it's still showing that, then you should run the Manual Update  (Windows systems only):

IF the Manual Update isn't working Call Customer Support, You may need to get a fully new installation file from them:
